I don't know the one for class but the one for health is %h, the one for armor is %a, the one for last person you view is %i. That's all I have to say about that

Not what i meant.

I'm sure at least some people have noticed that A large portion of EP, and a few others have a status thing when they team chat. Dahak posted it, and i'm trying to do it.

I figured it out though. It still won't automatically change when i select a class, but, i have the talk configs anyway...

There is a command that will exec the class cfgs. You are talking about ones for engie, solly, etc. I don't remember it right now. I will look in my config and try to find it. I will post with the answer.

For a soldier using 'u' for team say.

=====================================
/tfc/soldier.cfg

bind u "exec /talk/soldier.cfg"

=====================================
/tfc/talk/soldier.cfg

messagemode "say_team [Soldier %h|%a]"

Hope this helps ya...

Man that is the hard way Torak....

In your config.cfg file add the line:

setinfo "ec" "1"

This enables classs specific files to executed. Now you just need to create files like soldier.cfg and demo.cfg etc and add the binds in there that you want. This is where I set class specific binds like detdispenser and +det20 etc. I also have defined a key that switches weapons in the order I prefer. I also have a key bound to grab my crowbar etc. I refer to it as my humiliation key. I use it when I find a feigned spy etc

If you want to do the same thing for map specific files you will need to add the line:

setinfo "em" "1"

to your config.cfg file. I also have(had) a file called common.cfg where I had bound the NEO commands to keys since the buildspecial and detspecial keys could be the same regardless of class. You would need to add the line

exec common.cfg

to your config.cfg or to each <class>.cfg file. The <class>.cfg files are only executed when you switch to that class not each time you respawn.

If this didn't answer your question...try to explain what you are missing please.

I didn't know what i needed to make the files. I dled HLToolz though, which has a config editor.

Ok I attempted to combine the thoughts of cyco and torak on this. In my class.cfg I added

messagemode "say_team [Class] |%h : %a|

which worked!!!!! ................. once.

is there anyway to get this to be before my name each time I speak by just adding it to the class specific .cfg file in my SEIRRA/Half-life/tfc folder?

JR you can use Notepad to make .cfgs. You just have to save it as a .cfg file.

just go to your config.cfg, like this it counts for every class you play.

here's one:
bind "o" "say_team I need a medic/engineer [Health%h,Armor%a]"

or you can just use: bind "o" "say_team [Health%h,Armor%a]"

i prefer the first one like that you don't need to call the medic each time.

Certaintly don't forget to set say_team otherwise everybody will be able to read it!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

This wasn't what I was referring to. I when I hit "u" or whatever you have bound to "say_team" automatically have written "[Class] %h | %a" without havign to type it at all and it's before no matter what I say in team chat.

To make that bind a little better why don't you add "saveme" before that and you will also be shouting medic
